I've posted this on 3geez but I figured I would share this in here as well Nothing extreme, just a quick shave, tuck and respray.

Fiberglassed the unneded holes (I can't weld )

Bondoed over

Strut towers as well

And yes, I'm doing this with the engine in. I have no tools to get pull the engine out, so...

Took the battery tray off. My initial plan is to relocate the battery in the trunk, but then I realized that the cables are expensive so the battery is staying in the bay :p I'm totally broke when I'm doing this and so far I've spent like US$100 for the supplies. The most expensive part would be the slim fan haha.

I have to :p

Sanded

That SOAB booster is a PITA to get off with the dash still in the car ><

Made a hole for the harness to go through from the body to the bay

Stock grommet!

Some random battery tray I found at the parts store. Its made of plastic instead and it bolts up.

man that is lookin sweet. there is nothing better than a clean engine bay. hopefully i can join the club one day! cant wait for the suprise color. will the whole car be painted that color or just the bay?

Am I on crack or is the battery tray removable without doing any cutting? Is it just bolted in? How have I not noticed this? I only have 2 rust spots on my Accord, and that wretched tray is one of them....
